HARRY C. BARBER, OF NORTH HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO NEW HAVEN ELECTRIC MFG. CO., 015 NORTH HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION.

ELECTRICAL FITTING.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, I'IARRY C. BARBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Electrical Fittings; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in

Figure 1 an inside or plan view of a rosette constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 an outside or plan view showing the wires in position. Fig. 3 an inside or plan view showing the wires attached. Fig. 4: a transverse sectional view.

This invention relates to an improvement in electrical fittings, such as rosettes, plugs and other devices through which wires extend, and which are intended in a greater or less degree to stand more or less strain upon the wires.

The object of the invention is to provide simple and convenient means for firmly con-' necting the wires with the fitting so that the ends of the .wires may be conveniently connected with the binding-posts and prevent the possibility of short-circuiting due to the wearing of the wires one upon the other; and the invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.

In carrying out my invention I have shown it as applied to a rosette which may be of any approved construction and adapted to be secured in any desired manner. In the center of the rosette 2 is a round opening 3, and on opposite sides of the opening 3 and at slight distances from them are holes Specification of Letters Patent.

4 and 5. In opposite walls of the opening 3 and in line with the holes 4 and 5 are grooves 6 and 7 which grooves are connected with the holes by channels 8 and 9. The two wires 10 and 11 pass upward through the opening 3, and. the wire 10 is then passed downward, through the hole 4, and back upward through the central opening 3, being seated in the channel 8 and groove 6 from which it passes to a binding-post 12. The other wire 11 passes downward through the hole 5 and back upward through the central opening 3 and rests in the channel 9 and groove 7 and passes to a binding-post 13. Both wires are thus tied and the strain comes upon the rosette rather than upon the binding-posts and also presents a very' neat appearance.

\Vithout. further illustration or description, it will be clear that the invention is equally applicable to plugs and other elec tric fittings through which wires are at tached.

I claim 1. An electrical fitting comprising a body having a centrally arranged opening, a hole on opposite sides of said opening,a groove in opposite walls of said opening in radial line with said holes.

2. An electric fitting comprising a body having a centrally arranged opening, a hole on opposite sides of said opening, a groove in opposite walls of said opening in line with said holes, and radial slots connect-ing the outer ends of the grooves and holes.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
